a story has died

[lagilman]

Alas, alas. A story I love very much, a story that still has so much potential and so much color and detail....
is dead.
Or at least, in a coma. A sad, silent, lonely coma from which it may not wake.

*weeps*

But I am still stuck with the visual which started it all: a multicolored jewel of a waterfall, blues and greens and golds, in the middle of a desert. Some day, it will come back and open its eyes and make me happy again. I hope.

I've had many stories die (one I even dragged directly to the trash without bothering to save). Sometimes they're just not done gestating yet, and sometimes, like the one I mentioned above, they're just shite from the get-go.

*Code Blue* Code Blue* Emergency Response Team One to LAG's frontal lobe STAT!*

*Code Blue* Code Blue* Dr. Richard to ERT-1.*
Dr Richard: What do we have here?
Nurse 1: We had a cerebral synapse resulting in visual phenomenon...then nothing.

Dr Richard: Was the synapse located in the primative centers or in the frontal lobe?

Nurse 2: It started in the primative centers--
Nurse 1: ---then it was a full blown axiom synapse here...
Janitor: It was really pretty man!
Dr Richard: Get that guy outta here!
Nurse 1: We're flatlining!
Dr Richard: Get me 20cc's of adrenaline and 300 cc's of dopamine, warm up the neural defibs...NOW!
***
Nurse 2: Alpha and Beta's are stable, Theta and Deep Delta's have gone erratic.
Dr Richard: That's all we can do for now... let's hook up the Octopus and commence a 30 Terabyte nano-copy of all cerebral activity in the last 48 hours?
Nurse 1: Isn't that a bit overkill?
Nurse 2: Octopus?
Dr Richard: Damnit Nurse 2 just play along!
Nurse 2: But you haven't even given me a name, just some generic script writer's moniker...
Dr. Richard: ...and if you don't give me that damned Octopus I'll rename you Ensign, put you in a red shirt and make sure you're on the next aweigh party.

Fear not, we've stabalized it. It'll be waiting for you when you're ready for it ;)
